So Friday night I got a fever. It has not gone pay 100.3. I might just be sick- but Saturday morning I woke up with a pain in my stomach. Is felt like an intense hunger pang. As I tried to rest and get better the cramping sensation continued. I eat food fine- no vomiting or blood but the cramping is so bad I took anti acids and still ... im just scared somthing is wrong with my sleeve. Like a leak or something

Wow you are right at that window of being most likely out of danger for a leak... Right about six weeks??

Would call the advice nurse at your doctor..

And run those symptoms by her/him

I know I had a stomach bug last week and my stomach was churning and cramping. It's a temperamental little thing these days!

If you talked to the on call doctor, then I think you'll be fine until you can get in tomorrow for a same day appointment.

I would suggest that you take it easy today. Take some Tylenol to help with the pain and fever. Drink plenty of fluids.

If anything changes before tomorrow, like your fever goes up and the pain level goes up, call that on call doctor again.

What ended up being the outcome? I have a lot of cramping and almost burning with eating and drinking about 5-10 minutes after I take a bite or drink. This is new and I am 3 months out. Never any problems. Wondering if it is a bug or something I should be worried about. Thanks and hope all is well!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
